The Estates on 3rd — photos coming soon! Located within a private gated community in the heart of Society Hill and the highly sought-after McCall School Catchment, 218 S. 3rd Street offers over 4,500 square feet of contemporary living.

Thoughtfully designed, the residence features three ensuite bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a finished lower level, and multiple outdoor spaces.
The home's main living level is defined by dramatic ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows with custom window treatments, and a striking two-story gas fireplace.
